The Shoreham West Cooperative is located at 2700 Calvert Street NW in Washington, DC. The property consists of 58 residential units and underground parking. The Shoreham West must comply with the District’s current Building Energy Performance Standard.
In response to DC’s BEPS requirements, Shoreham West Cooperative needed to comply with BEPS-1 which required a site energy reduction of 20% or more by 2026 compared to 2018 and 2019 average site energy use. To be compliant for BEPS-2, which will begin in 2027, it will be desirable for the Shoreham West Cooperative to achieve savings greater than 20% and an Energy Star score higher than 66.
The Shoreham West Cooperative previously had an energy audit and a BEPS Pathway Report completed by others. This work identified 11 energy efficiency measures, and Shoreham West Cooperative’s benchmarking profile and data were reviewed. This latter work resulted in updates to Shoreham West’s benchmarking profile and an increase in the Energy Star Score.
Baumann Consulting reviewed and verified benchmarking data, performed an ASHRAE Level 1 and 2 Energy Audit, and completed an assessment of BEPS compliance options for the immediate and future BEPS cycles.
